An IK barb would do well vs a smiter....
That is assuming the smiter isn't telesmiting.

i've always advocated for smiters to carry eth lacerators in their stash as backups for those sorts of situations.

First off, chaos gives 35 IAS.
Second, secondary claw IAS doesn't count for trap laying speed, so your 30 IAS from your war fist is useless. Bringing that IAS up doesn't help your argument at all.
Third, fools claw only works on primary claw. Don't try to tell me it works for offhand too and it's just hidden, there were tests done by max (zeichiek) but I lost the video.

Yes, you can whirl at diagonal angles away from the smiter to keep getting hitchecks against him while he can't hit you. But without stacked AR, you'll be missing a hell of a lot. Thats 'trouble hitting smiters'
The problem is that even a single mistake can result in getting charged/smited and die. Being too predictable makes you easy pickings for telesmite, etc.

Honestly, if your entire argument was "I angle whirlwind away", an IK barb could do just as well against a smiter.

If your entire argument is "sorb your traps and you're ez" then we might as well just talk about getting 2 hdins together for a spam fest.
